Every week I learn something new or learn something that I “thought I knew.” This week so no different! I was surprised at the plight of the Mormon people. I had heard of Brigham Young University but did not know Mr. Young was a Mormon. (A late Google search was very informative about the University.) I was surprised at the number of Mormon (16,000) during this time period. Prior to this course, I had assumed the Mormon community had always existed in the Utah area, not realized they moved there to escape tension from non-Mormons.
The Gold Rush section was very informative. I was very surprised how exponentially California’s population grew during this time. I was even more surprised to learn that 45,000 Chinese entered the Country
